A Trillick octogenarian was arrested this afternoon after wrecking the tills at a shop in the village following a series of questions by the cashier.

Mattie Donaghy (82) blew his top after the 5th question, overturning the chewing gums and stomping on Tracker bars. Police were called when he set upon the sherbet dips.

An onlooker explained what made Donaghy reach tipping point:

“I could see he was already flustered by the time he arrived at the till. Yer woman asked him

‘Do you require a bag today sir?’

Donaghy was already balancing his goods as well as a very obvious pink Tesco bag and told her in no uncertain terms that he didn’t need a bag. She then asked,

‘Do you have any fuel, sir?’

He started to steam at this stage and told yer woman that he hasn’t driven since 1998. She added:

‘Do you want sauce for your sausage roll?’

Donaghy started swearing at this point and told her to just ‘fill the fcukin bag for fcuk sake’.

When she asked him if he wanted a receipt he then flipped and wrecked the chewing gums. All hell broke loose after that.”

The shop have yet to comment but Wrigleys have stated that they’re disappointed their chewing gums were upturned.
